    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • The whole year was incredible. I can't imagine many placement experiences could trump it.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Extremely - they value both your contributions and your professional development

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Throughout the year there were support systems in place, be it within your team or from the hugely supportive Steering Committee.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Hard question to answer. Simply, some days were quieter, some more busy. My schedule was super varied which kept things interesting.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Speaking for myself I was given a lot of responsibility, which I thrived on. However, I know many of the other interns were also really hands on with some super interesting and important projects.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I would highly recommend a year out to anyone who has the option. It provides you with invaluable skills from being able to speak to people in a formal environment to organisational skills, and much more.

    3/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Supportive, challenging, friendly and good fun

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • They have been running placements here for many years now and every year there's a constant feedback loop with the steering committee in order to refine the process. You can really tell!

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Throughout the year we had access to a plethora of resources, be it online resources, training programmes or just colleagues who are super invested in your development

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym
    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • If you make the most of your year, picking up skills throughout, making connections within your team and beyond, I'd say you'd have a really good shot at coming back into the SAP or partner ecosystem (and they have some really good opportunities)

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Yes, you will make some really great friends throughout the experience.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Great

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yes, loads of extracurricular things you can get involved in.
